The beloved offspring given them of God? Nonsense! About as much born
of God as a calf, or a flower. Offspring are the natural result of a
natural cause. "Born again in baptism unto Christ, and destined for
heaven"--would it not be well to ascertain what the Catholic church has
ever done to elevate and educate the masses? Does not the educational
system of Peter Dens, Satolli, and Co. consist merely of: 1. To hear
mass on Sundays and all holy days of obligation; 2. To fast and abstain
on the days commanded; 3. To receive worthily the blessed Eucharist at
Easter, or within the time appointed; 4. To confess our sins at least
once a year; 5. To contribute to the support of our pastor; 6. Not to
solemnize marriage at the forbidden times, nor to marry persons within
the forbidden degrees of kindom or otherwise prohibited by the church
nor clandestinely? The dirt and filth, the nauseating nastiness, of
the cesspool of the "Moral Theology" of Peter Dens cannot be printed
in the English language. Or perhaps Mr. Satolli will educate the
children to mumble over and over the litany of the blessed Virgin,
quoted in another chapter, and all the rest of the instructions in
mortal sin, venial sin, precepts of the church, infidels and heretics,
decalogue, grace, justification, merit, virtue of faith, articles of
faith, apostolic creed, church visibility, marks, holiness, authority,
infallibility, concerning ecclesiastical councils, supreme pontiff,
signs of the cross, magic, miracles, sacrament, worship of relics,
worship of images, resurrection, heaven, hell, perdition, purgatory,
etc., etc.
